Thanks to Cordey for the dog molestation photo.
We’re not just here to interview, banter, and rant passionately about our (and hopefully your) favourite pop acts. Oh no, the TT team is full of caring types, happy to listen to your life troubling and ever-so-important personal dilemmas. Be it zits of mammoth proportions, understanding the nuanced complexities of the opposite or same sex, or an unhealthy adoration of rather good looking 27-year old teen website editors called Olly - we’ve been there and we sort-of-maybe-a-little-bit know what we’re talking about. Welcome to DEAR TROUBLED TEEN. Remember, our door is always open. Hit “see more”.

i am 13 and have still not kissed a boy. is there something wrong with me?
Dear troubled teen,
Of course there is nothing wrong with you. Truth be told, we didn’t have our first kiss until a week before we turned 16! But not because there was anything wrong with us (quite the contrary) but because we were (and still are, most of the time at least) perfectionists when it comes to the opposite of sex. And we like to take our our time and do things when we are ready, and not just because are friends are doing it.
But let us also share this; while the (very good looking) boy that we first kissed bragged about how many girls he had snogged and tried to make us feel bad for being 15 at the time, he turned out to be the worst kisser we’ve ever had. So bad in fact, he even bit our lip and made it bleed. (Don’t panic, we think he had braces and we were just very unfortunate).
So take your time and don’t waste a second more of it worrying that you could in some way be abnormal. And once you’re ready, it’ll just happen and should be an enjoyable (and lip biting free) experience. Good luck.
Oi you, troubled teen - got a problem that you want the TT team to attempt to solve for you - send it here.

First kisses do not live up to the hype.
Mine was like a dishwasher.
AND HE HAD HIS EYES OPEN.
WEIRD.
Safe to say the relationship didn’t last long.

It seriously is nothing to worry about, everyone thinks it is beforehand.
But when you eventually get to it, it’s nothing

First kisses are nothing ! i had mine when i was just 11 haha been kissing lots of boys ever since, trust me first kisses arent as perfect as you may think it will be ...unless you live in a movie (Not Likely) ! just have fun and dont worry...its most likely that the guy is just as worried about it as you may be...despite the brave face he wears !
Hello Gemmy
First Kisses seem a really big scary thing when you have never kissed anyone before and even more so if he has had his first kiss. Whenever your with him and if you hug him or are just standing near him the thought of a first kiss is constantly playing on your mind. The secret is to not think about it and the chances are you will get the first kiss you have been awaiting. Just don’t pull away as he will think you didn’t want to kiss him or he will think he is a bad kisser and will be reluctant to kiss you again incase you pull away again. Last point the location or how your hair is sitting or what your wearing doesnt matter. Its the company and the fun your having with that special someone that really matters. Don’t Be nervous chances are he is just as nervous as you are just he wont show the fact he is nervous as he is a boy and they dont think thats cool. Smile, Enjoy yourself and Dont worry. (:
